> Bignums, true rationals, and many other constructs are already available in Python. Numpy is too. The difference is that these things all run dramatically faster in CL than in plain Python, because CL is compiled AOT. In CL, a C library for math is optional. In Python, Numpy is mandatory. > Most importantly, infix is available in Python. Infix is certainly available in CL too, as other posters in this thread attest. I just don't feel any need for it.
